17. In no less than 200 words, describe how parents typically react to childhood masturbation. Discuss two ways in which parents should react to childhood masturbation.
When a child is caught by their parent, masturbating, there are a few different ways that the parent can handle the situation rather than “slapping the child’s hand” or even failing to acknowledge the behavior openly. Parents normally react thinking that it is not acceptable because that is more of an adult thing to do. They do not realize that it is something that feels very natural to their child, and their child is not doing it for the same reasons an adult would masturbate, or even play with themselves like an adult would.
First off, the parent needs to not interpret the child’s reflexes according to the adult’s concept of sexuality. This means that they need to understand that a child “masturbating” or “play with themselves” is not meant like in the world of the adult. They are simply learning to explore their bodies.
The second thing is when a parent scolds their child for masturbating, they are not teaching them anything. A child feels this to be a normal reaction to their body, and they do not really realize what they are doing.
When a parent catches their child masturbating they should first of all be open to the subject. Don’t try to tuck it away in a closet, and wait for them to become older in order to talk about it. They should learn how to openly discuss what is going on with their child’s body. They need to refrain from referring to the private parts as nicknames and openly discuss it with their child.
